Here's how I noticed you quickly. When you edit articles, there is a checkbox to choose to "Watch this page." Then you can click on "My watchlist" at the top of the page anytime you like. This gives you a list of recent edits on articles on your watchlist. You made edits to benzoic acid, which happens to be on my watchlist. I make an effort to welcome new editors that I notice working on articles on my watchlist (mostly chemistry-related articles).
I think the edits you made to the benzoic acid are fine. I think a good article will have an introduction and basic information that is understandable to almost anyone, and then goes into details that might be only of interest to someone with a chemistry background.
If you are interested, there is a coordinated effort to improve chemistry-related articles at WikiProject Chemistry. There are also other wikiprojects for almost any other topic you might be interested in.
Happy editing! --Ed (Edgar181) 23:24, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
